These stupid reports are part of the problem. Too many high school officials just don't want to do paperwork and would rather ignore the behavior.

I completely understand that you want a phone call after the game but for some reason the thought of writing a report that will be on record with the state causes so many high school officials to just ignore unsporting behavior. Or perhaps that is just the convenient excuse they use and they really just don't have the stones to handle business.

In my experience college coaches almost always quickly move on after getting a T and go back to coaching for the rest of the game. I cannot say the same about more than one high school coach I have experienced who takes it personally and threatens to "scratch" me. Again, the NBA philosophy is the way it should be at the lower levels. Especially in HS where we are preached to about how the games are an extension of the classroom. |

I've found that the written warning the NFHS put in place has stopped coaches - and I don't hesitate to go to it. Working a regional championship this season, the home coach was unhappy we didn't call a travel and did a dance to demonstrate. It was a bit over the top and I immediately hit the whistle and put a warning in the book. No discussion. And that was that. Once warned, no more warnings, though.

Some of my peer group have also started to issue more warnings than they have in previous seasons. |

And that is notwithstanding the fact that in NCAA-M you are not supposed to put a warning in the book unless it is a coaching box warning (this coach was not out of the box). The assigner did not even mention that aspect. I have stopped using the "official warning" in NFHS games, as well, for the most part. |

In borderline situations, I've used both, sometimes (written) warning, sometimes going directly to the technical foul. Depends on a lot of factors in borderline situations; what's been said, tone, frequency, volume, gestures, box issues, my patience (or lack of), my mood (pissed off), etc. In many situations where I would, in the past, ignore, or possibly give a vocal warning, and then "take care of business" later, the written warning is a nice substitute for ignoring, or a nice substitute for a vocal warning, before "taking care of business", but is not a substitute for something that requires an official to immediately "take care of business".

The behavior ends or I whack the coach. I'm doing the coach a favor by not going right to the T. I'm done with any verbal warnings, too. If I need to get a coach to knock it off, the written warning is my warning. Period. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro |
